Comment 2 for bug 188579

After uninstalling VirtualBox and it's modules package, and trying to install it again with apt:

$ sudo apt-get install virtualbox

The following extra packages will be installed:
linux-image-2.6.24-5-386 virtualbox-ose virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.24-5-386

And again the (uncorrect) -386 module (and the corresponding kernel image also) is automatically installed.

Isn't maybe the virtualbox-ose-modules virtual package broken. apt-cache show returns an empty output.
And this is the package virtualbox is depending on, and this should depend on the correct module package.
